JohnAnnArbor:namegoeshere: I had two kids in my preschool class whose moms met and became good friends. They compared notes and found out that their kids had the same babydaddy. I always wondered what would have happened if they'd figured it out later in life after the kids had hooked up.

"Babydaddy."

I hate that term.

You're not the only one. Surely there's some other way to say "biological father of X's child."

1. this shiat is fake. i thought this site was about making fun of actual news. fark you mods, or drones,or admins, or drew , or whoever did this. i did not give you 5 bucks but i certainly gave you a few hundred thousand click through hits over the past 8ish years.

2. what i do now is i right click copy link URL, paste to notepad and extract. it is like going from cigs to e-cigs, in a few weeks i wont come to your whore yahoo, WSJ, AOL esque site anymore. biatches, you are already paid, now you sacrifice your integrity like every other american wall-mart shopper for a few more duckets. well fark you!! / i bet your helicopter sweet clown.

On the other hand, statistically speaking, this probably happens all the time. A small but non-negligible number of the babies that get born are not the offspring of the man who thinks (or hopes) he's the father. Any two young people living in the same small town stand a reasonably good chance of farking each other at some point along the way, usually without checking to see if Mom knows any reason why they shouldn't. And that's not even getting into the bizarre coincidences that can happen on a planet of 7,000,000 people.

FWIW, from a genetic standpoint, the occasional baby from half-sibling incest isn't any cause for alarm, any more than the occasional first-cousin marriage is. It's only when you need partial differential equations to count how many different ways you're related to someone that you start having to worry about every nosebleed.

While I am against this sort of lying and hiding things from your kids, for this very reason, because of actual genetics and science and all that boring stuff, you'd think it not be a big deal biblically..if, you know, we're supposed to take the whole Adam and Eve thing seriously.

namegoeshere:Demetrius: At least make the stories believable, Daily Mail.

There was a story on here years ago about a married couple who went for genetic counseling when they were unable to conceive. They found out they were brother and sister.

IIRC they stayed married and adopted.

I'll raise you this Fark story from a few years ago: Guy and girl meet in college. Guy knocks up girl. At their engagement party, guy's dad recognizes fiances mom as his ex-wife. Yes, they were brother and sister; parents divorced when kids were young. Dad kept the son, mom took the daughter.

They weren't brother and sisters. More like clones, kinda. I guess if in the dystopian future men have a rib extracted to grow the perfect wife, which is legally not a separate human being and has no rights or ability to own property...

wait a minute. biblical views on women suddenly make sense.

Maybe we are living in the future and "God" is just the last sentient AI from a technologically advanced past. The human race was on the brink of destruction, due to overindulgence and carelessness... Men were creating legions of sex slaves in vats taken from samples of their body to circumvent personhood laws. After the war, the AI searched for any survivors, as he was programmed to aid humans. Eventually a single man was found, but he had suffered severe brain trauma and had amnesia. The AI called God had his rib removed and placed in the vat, with the other necessary ingredients to make a person -- rare elements gathered from across the ravaged earth. Eve emerged from the vat, and became property of Adam -- as this was the law as programmed into the AI.

What about their kids? They would have had to marry siblings. (Someone once showed me a pamphlet called "Where Did Cain Get His Wife?", the gist of which was that incest was okey-dokey fine back then because apparently we only started developing recessive genetic flaws as a result of the Fall, and within the first generation or two there wouldn't have been enough to make inbreeding a problem. This is, evidently, what creationists actually believe.)

.. better beware. There's probably a group that is obligated to hunt you down for revealing stuff like this.

A friend of mine is married to their step brother. Their parents (wife's mother, husband's father) and met at their wedding. They started dating, and eventually got married. Their son is his own cousin now.

Zarquon's Flat Tire:darwinpolice: ZAZ: Daily Mail links to Ebony as the source. I think Ebony is more credible than Daily Mail, but I have a melanin deficiency mutation (the one found in most people of European descent) and can't speak authoritatively.

The Onion is a more credible source than Daily Mail.

The Onion just prints things before they happen is all.

I can't answer for anything as farked as this story; however, my old housemate's girlfriend's brother* was the subject of a Mail on Sunday "My Relationship Hell" story, when his girlfriend wrote to their agony aunt about him.

Basically she didn't like the fact that, after a two year relationship, he remained the same selfish douche he was when he dumped his old girlfriend for her. Go figure.

Don't really know why she did it. I think she was really addicted to needless drama and attention; but, anyway, 7 billion people in the world and some of them will actually seem to enjoy telling the press the most personal shiat imaginable.

*Yeah I know, "31 Flavours". But I have met the guy. He does exist and is pretty much as much of a douchebag as the Mail made out.

I'm just sharing my story because people asked...Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morningFirst of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's bad to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that my sister made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so beautiful that I watched it twice. Probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy stuff went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just drool all over her. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was messed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father.

Yeah, but the best part of that show is Brian Blessed and his whore of a daughter. Man, I need to watch that show again. Too many of my favorite Brit actors in one place - Blessed, John Hurt, Patrick Stewart, John Rhys-Davies, the underappreciated John Castle (Geoffrey in The Lion in Winter) and last, but not least, the incredibly talented Siân Phillips - who was 12 time winner of "Hot Old Lady of the Year" long before Helen Mirren turned 50.

Aww, come on now there's no reason to beat around the bush! Tell us how you REALLY feel.

God-is-a-Taco:upndn: There's a song in here somewhere. Most likely country.

Acceptable.

mayIFark: Big deal, how hard it is to move Alabama?

Heroic.

martid4: have probably played a mean banjo.

Inspiring.

SpiderQueenDemon: I lived in West Virginia for seven years.

They call this sort of situation 'Thursday.'

Noble.

PaLarkin: I'm guessing the states have to be one of the following: Kentucky Tennessee Arkansas West VirginiaThis is the part of the country where people don't have family trees. They have family telephone poles.

Glorious.

Abacus9: You can take the girl out of Kentucky...

Righteous.

Vectron: They're black people. It doesn't have the same stigma as it does to us.It's harder for them to tell whose father is whose.

What the fark is wrong with you? Jesus Christ. Is this how you talk in real life?Welcome to my ignore list.

Vectron can't help it. He has a hard time seeing out of those tiny little eye holes he has in that pointy white pillow case he keeps on his head. Besides when he sees that certain woman, he doesn't know whether to call her mom or grandma.

Therapy? Overreact much? Maybe it is that her dad had another family, but finding out the man you have been sleeping with is your half brother shouldn't be a big deal. If you love the person it shouldn't really matter and the offspring chances of birth defects is extremely unlikely even in direct brother sister relationships. Any grossed out feelings are all in your head, because society has programmed those feelings into your head likely to keep brother and sister from engaging in sexual activity as they are growing up.

**clap clap clap**

Well played... I'm embarrassed to say you snagged me hook, line and sinker.

PsyLord:That's why I always date people of different ethnicity than I.

Wasn't there a story/urban legend about a guy who got the hots for and wanted to marry this biracial girl he met, but his racist father was adamantly against it. Then "racist father" finally broke down and admitted she was really his half-sister. Just something I remember from years ago.

bk3k:Don't know if it is real, but who cares. If true, I think it is sad that they would break up now over that.

Fark what society thinks. It is not all that bad actually. Inbreeding(assuming they would even decided to have kids) only really becomes a problem when it is done across several generations in a row - like in Kentucky or Arkansas.

I don't think there is a damn thing wrong with them staying together.

But the dad... LOL.

This is not true. The product of a relationship that close is actually very likely to have some sort of genetic disorder. Additionally, even a single first-cousin relationship is correlated with something like an average 5 point drop in IQ in the offspring, and it gets worse the closer the inbreeding coefficient is.
